Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Gradually add the vegetable oil, continuing to mix until well combined. Then, add the baking powder and flour, stirring until a soft dough forms. If needed, add a little more flour and knead gently by hand to achieve the desired consistency.
-
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Cover one part with plastic wrap and set it aside. Roll out the remaining dough on a sheet of plastic wrap. Spread the jam evenly over the rolled-out dough and sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top.
-
Roll out the reserved dough and place it over the jam and walnut layer. Gently press down with a fork to create marks and use a small spoon to make holes evenly across the dough. Transfer the prepared dough onto a baking sheet.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Cut into small pieces and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
